Review Centre: Bands & Ensembles

"We were looking for a band with a repertoire of jump jive and swing music for our wedding reception and found One Jump Ahead. The band did such a great job, they had such great energy, and our guests loved dancing to their music. There was good variety of songs so that our non-swing dancing guests could show of their moves too! We loved the first dance and really appreciate the band learning the song for us, we hope they will continue to play it in their future gigs. We had very good communication with Kit in the run up to the wedding and the band were able to set up by themselves which made things run smoothly for us, and were very flexible and relaxed on the night. We'll be recommending you to our family and friends for future events!"

Thanks Sherri! It was a really great reception, made all the better by the lovely sunny weather we had. It was excellent that many of your guests were swing dancers - we always like to play for them! (It's still a pleasure playing for other dancers, too, of course - or even those who prefer just to listen!) We enjoyed learning your request and will be very likely include it in our sets at future wedding receptions. We're only too happy for you to pass on our details to family and friends for other occasions. We hope that you and Tom have a long and happy life together! - Kit.

"A big thanks to Mike and the rest of the band for a brilliant evening. Everyone has said how much they thoroughly enjoyed it. A special thank you to Alan, the dance caller. He did a great job - quite a comedian! Finally a big thanks to the band for welcoming our fiddle-playing friend Richard into their ranks for the evening. He said he had a fantastic time. What a great party band the guys make! I'm very happy to recommend them to anyone having a bash. "

"We booked Magenta Strings as a duo to play during the drinks & canapés at our wedding. From the moment we first contacted them, through to our special day, they were very helpful and professional. On the day, they played a great mix of classic and modern songs, including a special request from the father of the bride. We would definitely recommend booking them. "

"The Royal Buzz did a great job at the wedding we hired them to play at. They were also very communicative and willing to play any kind of songs. On the night of the wedding we were delayed and changed up the timing and sets completely and they were very flexible and willing to make changes which we appreciated. The music and energy was great - would definitely recommmend."

"We hired Carlo for our destination wedding in Italy and he was phenomenal. From the ceremony to the evening sax and DJ party, everything was seamless. If you need a destination wedding saxophonist in Europe, Carlo is professional, easy to work with and brings incredible energy. The live saxophone over the DJ set made the night unforgettable."

"Duncan played background music at our house warming party of around 75 people. His playing created a brilliant ambience meaning everyone felt comfortable and relaxed straight away. Duncan is clearly an established and talented musician with a lovely, friendly demeanor. Friends have already asked for his number and we would certainly recommend Duncan very highly."

"Ian and I just wanted to say thank you for an outstanding evening on the 27th! You packed the dance floor and that was exactly what we wanted! So many people commented on how great the band was. I'm not sure seeing you all in Ian masks will never quite leave my head, but we had such a great night, so thank you all so much. Wishing you all a fantastic 2016."
